We are looking to recruit nurses to join our ever-expanding Endoscopy Team. You will be working in a fully Accredited Unit, recognized as a teaching hub for Endoscopists and consultants. The successful candidate should have the relevant NMC registration or be working towards this. The candidate should be able to plan care around patients along with their carers and deliver a high standard of care. The successful candidate will have an opportunity to act as a role model to their peers or develop these skills. They should be able to delegate, prioritize, be flexible, adaptable, and have excellent communication skills. The successful candidate should be able to work on their own initiative safely, within their limitations.
Our nurses are currently being trained in accordance with Joint Advisory Requirement (JAG), enabling them to work in any Endoscopy Unit. This recognized qualification can follow a successful candidate throughout their career. Nurses are given the opportunity to attend study days and courses outside of the unit which upgrade their skills and increase knowledge. The successful candidate will need to participate in out-of-hours on-call service and will also be covering across our 3 sites.

About us
Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWBT) is an integrated care organization with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000 staff. Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides community and acute services to over half a million people in an urban center that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.
Our new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), opens this year and will provide care to our local population from first-class, purpose-built premises. As a result, the base of this role may change to MMUH. If this is applicable to your role, you will be informed during the recruitment process and continue your application with this understanding. The development of the new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities.
We have three strategic objectives:
* Our People - to cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff.
* Our Patients - to be good or outstanding in everything we do.
* Our Population - to work seamlessly with our partners to improve lives.
